When I first filled in the expenses form, I was asked the engine capacity of my car. I rang county hall and asked what I should do. They told me that the simplest thing would be to claim for the smallest capacity of car. I got so much money in the next 4 months that I paid off my bank loan for the motorbike. The bike did about 120 miles per gallon.
